MEN ARE WHO MAKE LAWS FOR THE UNITED STATES.

WHO CHE From the Washington Hvening Star. ) . »} enla thi [t is the lawyers, after all, who rale this glorious country of ours. 25° the United States consists of 40 m : : hs oy ot aa Ww.

>this number 59 are practising iW and of this numbc ee eels

yers. Of the 205 memoers ot the House. Representatives, 219 are lawyers. The saiclént and Vice-President of the United Presicient and emer St the Ger. States are lawyers, and nearly ali the ev ernment departments are headed and dt- rected by the same profession. In the ea : ] tanatora ti “ Senate, especially among the Senators them selves, each member's ability is gauged by his rank as a lawyer. ‘Wien the

mempers,

wy*

sisius ef an. incoming Senator 33 under discussion, the _ remark is very frequently made: *‘ He 18 a tne law- ver aud will make a good Senator, Be-

cause the man isa good lawyer the suppo- sition with Senaters is that he must there- fore bo a first-class statesman. Why the people of the United States give such pre- ference to the profession ef the law in se lectin their legislators and rulers is 2 prob- lem that cannot be answered. In the Sen- ate there is owly 1 physician, and in the House there are but 6. Theres are among the Seuatora 8. business men oF merchaats, 1 dostor, 1 editer, 2 planters, 2 farmers, | banke:, 1 mine ewner and 1 operator and 1 of no profession or business, —

Besides the 219 lawyers in the House there are 25 merchants, 5 bankers, 3 capt- talists. 2 inventorr, 56 manufacturers, 2 teachers, 12 farmers, 0 physicians, i archi- tect and builder, 4 editors, 2 ministers, ] stonecitter, 1 insurance agent, 2 -mullers and 3 owners and operators of transporta- tion lines. The oldest member of the House is Mr. Wait, of Connecticut, who is sixty-nine years of age, and the youngest member is Mr. Frest, of St. Louis, who is twenty-eight years of age. Fernando Wood has been longer a member of the House than any of his associates, and nexh in porn of long service is Judge Kelly, of Pennsyl- vania. Mr. Stephens, of ‘reorgia, 18 gen- erally spoken of as being older than any other member of ths present House, but Mr. Wait has about one year the advantage of him in that respect.

<> The Stinging Tree a8 OLIDLINS ifsc.

Though the tropieai cruhs ef Queens- land are very luxuriant ond . beautiful, they are not without their dangerous drawbacks, for there ig ene plant grow- jog in them that is really deadly io ts effeets; that isto say, deadly in the same way thet one would apply the term of fire; ax if a portion of one’s body is huia’t hy the stinging tres, death would be the result. Is would be as sate to passthrough fires 2s to fall into one of these trees. They are found growing from one and two inches high to tea and fifteen feet; and in the old onethe stem is whitin and the berries usuaily grow on the top. It emits a peculiar, disagree able smell, but_it is bast knowa by its lez, wh ch is nearly round, but having a point on tho top, and ia jagged all

while shooting turkeys in the scrubs, I have entirely forgot the stinging tree until warned of its clese proximity by its smeli, aud I have then fouod myself in a little forest of them. ‘Iwas only stung ouce myself, and that waa very lightly. Its effect is curious. It leaves no mark, bat tho pain is maddening, and for Months: fterward the part, when touch- ed, is tender in rainy weather, or when it vets wot in washing, ete.

meaning at all. The next clauso of the} sentence, referring to the calling to- gether of the Ministry, shows a degree

ignorance unpardonabie in amy schoolboy. A man coming forward as the chamrion of 5,009,090, of people,and .hailing. from a: island whose young men are not behind the age in intelligence, ought to know, if he knows anything, that no Ministry can pass an Act of Parliament. Jt requires the Gueen, Lords and Commons of England to do what this learned *‘Young P, Li. Islander” of ours expects a Ministry to do, and what he says they will be compelled to do. To show that this great advoeate of Irish tenant right is ignorant evea of the simplest rules ef grain mar, Dil give another sentence as a proof. Speaking of the linen trade between which and the question of tenant right there is not the least connection, he says: ‘“‘She took away her linen trade by ors posing heavy duties on. them.” What he could mean by bringing in the linen trade aud the question of commerce generally, is* what I cannot understand, unless ho considered that the question of Tenant Right didn’t afford suflicient scope for his genius. It is well known that the Irish people would be quite satisfied to get some measure of Tenant Right at present without minding the ques- tion of trade at ali. Another specimen of *‘A Young P. E. Islander’s’ ignorance is found in the following sentence: ~ ‘“‘Treland sends to Parliament in Eagland 130 members yearly, te represent her.” This shows pretty clearly the ability of -‘A Young P. E.

Dear Sirn—It is now two years since your ‘Censtitutional Catarrh Kemedy’ was intre.- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see if the cure would remzin permanent before do-

effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.” i

suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular | saw my case described in Many par. ticulars. The inward ‘“‘drop” from the head

sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothermg and be compelled to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertownin August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one boitle | found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, | quit taking it, feeling quite clear ef that ailment, and have not used any since until of late i have taken some for a cold in my head, A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what-use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
